Today's February 27th!

That means just 7 months until the wedding!

We're getting excited and anxious for September to be here already. We can't wait to celebrate with all of our family and friends! Speaking of that, I need to check the hotel block that I've set up to make sure there are enough rooms!

I have started buying all the supplies for our centerpieces. Our living room has been taken over by wedding supplies lately. When you're buying items for 20 tables it takes up a lot of room!

There is so much left to do, but I know it will all come together. I hope all the personal touches I'm hoping to include will add something to the day. Even if they don't, I'm having a blast doing them!

What's your dress like?

I get this question all the time. My answer is "I don't know." Why don't I know? Well, because I simply hate clothes shopping. I have been dreading buying a dress ever since the ring went on my finger. Seriously, why can't I walk down the aisle in jeans?!

The one thing I've always been excited for (since I was a teenager) was Filene's Basement's Running of the Brides in Boston (http://filenesbasement.com/bridal.jsp). It was always my dream to do this, although I have no idea why. Much to my disappointment I missed last year's event. Then I learned that the store in Boston was closing. My dream wouldn't be reached.

This morning when I was reading a wedding blog, I learned they were doing it again, just at Hynes Convention Center in Boston! I was so excited, frantically trying to find out when it was happening.

It's happening on Friday!!!

I called my Mom and she agreed to go with me to the madness. So maybe, just maybe, after Friday I'll have a real answer as to what my dress looks like!
